Over the years I’ve “collected” so much serial numbers, logins and passwords that it’s always a pain when I need to look up something. There is a limit on how much software boxes you can stack, especially if you’re a regular updater and use a lot of programs. My office life was pretty much a mess until I discovered this handy tool that organizes all of this.

At this moment we got 199 serials, 78 passwords and 47 created passwords… So high time to get organized! Lets take an every day life example. I’m working on an assignment and want to get moving and suddenly the phone rings. A client has lost his login and password for our development server and asks for it. Then I needed to pick the client’s organizer where I store all the project and client information, I need to browse to the page where I noted the login data (usually a page that contains lots of other stuff as well), get back behind my Mac and start typing my e-mail. This usually takes 10 minutes of time.

But now life is so much better since there is PasswordMaster. You just start up the program and copy paste the data into the e-mail, so you’re sure there’s no typo. In PasswordMaster you can store all your software serials, your logins and passwords, mail accounts, and you can even store your created logins and passwords for your clients or those of your online subscriptions, in other words just everything!

This secure (448-bit BlowFish Data Encryption) and handy tool costs only US$10 and it has a lifetime registration guarantee. So once registered, you’ll never pay a mandatory upgrade fee for future versions. I’m using this for a while now and it’s becoming a very long drop down list, so maybe in a next version Maury McCown of RailHead Design (the creator of this app) will implement a way to store things in categories who knows.

Available for MacOS 8.6 or later and MacOSX (10.1 or higher).
